Evaporated VS.. Dried Fruit.

The term ''evaporated" has become
we'll established in the markets, for
fruit prepared by artificial heat, as
distinguished from that dried in the
primitive way of exposure to the sun.
Evaporated fruit being dried rapidly
has not time to become changed and
partly soured, and being dried in the
dark remains beautifully white, in.
stead of turning brown like that ex-
posed to the sun; besides these are the
important advantages of freedom from
dust, and the soiling by insects, birds,
etc. The evaporated fruit presents
such superior appearance, there is no
wonder that it brings a much higher
price in the market or stores than or
dinary dried fruit. This is matter
Of SO much i'm portance, that one who
has any considerable quantity of fruit
to preserve by drying, cannot afford to
60 ON in the oid,fashioned way. There
are several dryers or evaporators now
offered at moderate price, which turn
out as good products as the expensive
machines first introduced. The differ.
ence in the price between the superior
and inferior article, will readily pay
for good drier in one season. With
artificial heat one is not liable to loss
in stormy weather, which stops the
drying in the sun, and it is often very
difficult to keep partly dried fruit from
spelling. Indeed, the advantages of
drying bv artificial heat are so many
and so obvious, that we advise all in.
terested to look into the merits of the
several driers now offered with view
to purchase. Not only is artificial heat
for drying fruit, but vegeta-
bles, especially sweet corn, are much
better in flavor and appearance than
when dried in the old way.

The SparroWS.

The annual report Of the Depart.

the following on the English sparrow !:

curse of such virulence that it ought to

the public treasury for the purpose, as
has been done in other counties" He
therefore advises
81. The immediate repeal of all ex.
isting laws which afford protection to
the sparrow.
2. The enactment of laws legalizing
the killing of the sparrow at all seasons
of the year, and the destruction of its
nests, eggs, and young.
3. The enactment of laws making it

imprisonment, or both-(a) to inten,

destruction; (b) to introduce or aid in
introducing it into new localities; (c) to
interfere with persons, means, or appli.
ances engaged in, or designed for, its
destruction or the destruction of its
nests, eggs, or young.
4. The enactment of laws protecting
the great northern shrike or butcher
bird, the sparrow hawk, and the screech
owl, which species feed largely on the
sparrow.
5. This enactment of laws providing
for the appointment of at least one per

1t is not e1pedient to offer bounties
for the destruction of sparrows. In fact
at the present time it is desirable, and
perfectly feasible, to bring about s

helpful legislation, without drawing
upon the public purse"

season, when the farmers are just in
the height of their harvest, and not &
horse on the ground but would be ;
credit to any stable of draft horses il
America.
The first day was devoted to receiv
ing and arranging the horses each age
and class was arranged in stalls next to
each other, SO you could see all of one
age together. When the jud ging com.
menced there was no confusion, for
each class was by itself the second
day was for judging the third day, in
the morning. the government announc-
ed that they were ready to buy some
horses, and there were over 100 shown
them, out Of which they chose II. The
kind they buy are not the largest speci.
mems, but with good clean legs, long
hips, and small heads, we'll set up.
They buy the very best specimens Of.
fered, and pay the highest prices.
Their examination took all the forenoon.
In the afternoon all the horses in each
class the judges thought worthy of a
premium the day before, were brought
out again and shown to them, so they
could make any changes they thought
proper.
The fourth day was the great day of
all. Elaborate arrangements had been
made. The officers of the society and
officers of state made a tour of the
grounds, then took their places in one
of the grand stands where there was an
Grafton, after which the secretary an
nounced the premiums, when each for
tunate exhibitor came up on the plat
form as his name and premium was
called, to receive it. This occupied some
time, after which all the horses that
had taken premiums were formed in
position and passed the grand stand,
while the baud of over 100 instruments
was playing and outside the grounds
cannon were booming and flags flying
everywhere. Never did 1 think any
thing could be produced so grand.
With the finest breed of draft horses on
earth, and powerful government to
encourage the improvement of the breed
what wonder it is the most prosperous
industry in all France! The govern
ment has over four hundred stations
which they locate all over the country
and give their service for the nominal
sum of 1920, just enough to pay for
the care of the horses, so there is no
inducement to breed from poor horses.
After the awarding of premiums and
the parade, the fair was at close, when
those who had invitations sat down to
grand banquet that was given in honor
of the Americans who are in the horse
business. 1t was an elaborate affair all
through, but a little tedious as the
speeches had to be interpreted as we'll
as the toasts.

A Percheron Horse Show In France

There was any amount Of red tape,
but the arrangements were good or they
never could have got through with 400
horses in one day, and had time to do
justice to all. The stalls were made in
sections, so they are taken down and
put up wherever the fair is held next.
The roofs were made of canvas, and the
sides were fixed like curtains SO they
could be let down at night. The box
stalls were solid partitions except in
front where there were gratings about
three feet from the ground, SO that any
one could see all the stock on the ground
at any time. There was no locking
doors and leaving the people to look at
padlocks, as is often the case with fairs
in our State. Every horse was where
you could see him at all times during
the fair. In judging, every horse was
shown to the judges separate. When
they had seen all in that class, those
that they wanted to see again were
brought back, and all looked over
together, when the premiums were de
cided upon. The arrangement for
judging was good, and in every instance
given on the merits of the horses. II

One day a teacher told her scholars
that it was wrong to chew tobacco,
when a small boy, with quite an i'm
portant air, replied that he had seen
fellow chew because his teeth ached,
and stoutly asserted that it was not
wrong for any one to chew tobacco
if his teeth ached. This seemed to
please the scholars very much, and
the teacher was at first sorely puzzled
to know how to answer this stunning
argument. At last she said to the
boy: "Horace. if a girl should have

bacco, what would you do?" Horace
scratched his head and then said res.
